I'm pulling my driveway.

We all know what that means.

It's time another drive to work.

Okay, so 1,200-some podcast in, I've decided to talk about how to make a podcast.

Now, I did do a podcast once on specifically the making of, I'm sorry, of Drive to Work.

Making Magic is my article.

Of drive to work.

But that was more specific, how do I make drive to work? This is, are you interested in making a podcast? Well, this is my talking about how to do that. I feel 1,200 podcasts in, okay, maybe, maybe I feel confident enough to talk a little bit about making a podcast. Now, one of my caveats I'm going to start with is that a number of things I'm going to advise

aren't necessarily things I do.

So I just want to be up front that some of my suggestions, my podcast has some quirks to it,

that are not what I would recommend necessarily doing.

It's what I did out of necessity for certain reasons.

But as I get to it today, you will see.

There's a number of things I'm going to suggest that is not how I function.

But it is me giving advice.

Okay, so first and foremost, I will give you all the piece of advice that was given to me that got me to first making podcasts.

So I go to San Diego Comic-Con every year. I've done a lot of podcasts on that.

For a while, every Saturday night, Kevin Smith, who as a director, he made clerks, mall rats chasing Amy, dogma, Tusk.

He's done a whole bunch of films.

He would talk every Saturday, and one of the things he said was he had started a podcast.

And the advice he gave is he goes, anybody can start a podcast.

Get a tape recorder. Boom, you're a podcaster. And the advice he gave is he goes, anybody can start a podcast. Get a tape recorder.
